Pascal de Mul, the global head of hardware partnerships at Spotify, said: "It's our dream to make all the world's music available instantly to everyone, everywhere, and bringing our service to Samsung Smart TVs is taking us another step closer to turning this dream into reality.

"The television is at the heart of most people's home entertainment experience, so it is a natural fit to make our music service available on internet-connected Smart TVs."

Samsung's director content services, Dan Saunders, added: "We are thrilled to debut the new Spotify app on Samsung Smart TVs, which will make listening to favorite tracks even easier for our customers who will no longer have to worry about connecting cables from their laptop or tablet to their HiFi equipment.

"For the first time, they will be able to use their Samsung Smart TVs and home theatre systems to enjoy Spotify's huge music library from the comfort of their living room."

The Spotify App is initially available from today (October 10) on the Samsung Series 7 and Series 8 Smart TVs, but will expand to the rest of the range at the end of the month.
